Solution

The correct option is A Bicarbonates
Only about 23% of carbon dioxide is transported as carbaminohaemoglobin, 5% of the total carbon dioxide production is carried as carbonic acid and nearly 70% of the total carbon dioxide produce in the body is carried as bicarbonates in the blood (chiefly sodium bicarbonate in the plasma and potassium bicarbonate in the corpuscles).
